Ahhh I was a kid and remember travelling back then. Especially on the MEA 747.

I was going to say I remember it well but it might give away how old I am :-) Back then, you could even go onto the roof of the Queen's Building, grab a bite to eat and watch aircraft in comfort. Vanguards, VC 10, Tridents. Now look at Heathrow. Unless you have business there, best avoided.

The 80s turned everything into a commodity - I can barely remember the 70s but there was a sense of wonder that's often missing now. There was also an economy pretty much collapsing permanently too, mind you.

A real treasure trove! Please upload more of your Heathrow footage.

This was really good! I would’ve thought that this was done in the mid 60s because of the cargo prop planes but the 747s changed that. This is of great quality for being shot in the mid 70s. Most films from that era are not that good but this is.

It’s probably end of the 60s.beginning of the 70s as Lufthansa’s 737s didn’t enter service until ‘68, and there is definitely one taxing in the video :-)

I actually remember watching that on TV, looks so old fashioned now but somehow very comforting. Love the employment office. I believe LHR have 12,000 job vacancies at the moment. The BOAC 747 looked awesome and to think a few months later Concorde would be in service and not long after that you could fly to JFK in 3 hours, progress eh !

toy2day1 just a thought, I know Olympic ran Boeing 720’s too. They looked similar to the 707, and am wondering if it might be a 720 if so, that’s a bit rarer Regards.

They offered very high standards of service on the London - Athens route in the late 70's. Flew the route with them twice, once in Y and once in F. 707 or 720 not sure which. Very nice meals and printed menus in Y. Broadsheet size menus and a full long haul style service from the trolleys in F (Intra-European flights were FY in those days, that was before C class was invented).

Frank Garret, Are you for real ?????? Surely you are being Sarcastic. You can't be that snobbish not in this day and age, surely not. But then again, I bet you are a Tories voter and so no wonder this country has gone down hill because of people like you. Good ole Tories sleaze after sleaze, they are full of it.
